Two NFL playoff games are in the books and two more are set to get underway on Sunday, completing the wild card weekend. On Saturday, the Houston Texans advanced to face the Baltimore Ravens in the next round while the New Orleans Saints took out the Detroit Lions, earning the right to face the San Francisco 49ers next week. Sunday brings two more games to the forefront -- one from the AFC side of the bracket and one from the NFC.

J.J. Watt's interception makes the difference
The Atlanta Falcons travel to New York to face the Giants in the early game, with kickoff set for 1 p.m. FOX will carry the matchup, kicking off another intriguing slate of games. The winner of Sunday's game will face the No. 1 seeded Green Bay Packers next weekend in the divisional round.
Later, the wild card round concludes as Tim Tebow's Denver Broncos host the Pittsburgh Steelers, despite holding a worse regular season record. As the AFC West champion, Denver has home-field advantage in the wild card round, but comes in as the underdog after an up-and-down season. The matchup kicks off at 4:30 p.m., with CBS set to carry the game.
